A/N: honestly really late for a christmas imagine but hey everyone has time for some fluff.
it was a week before christmas when you moved into a new house. the previous house you had was very old and the facilities could barely be used. the shower head always spurt out mud, the walls had many cracks in it and the lights would always go off every now and then making it very inconvenient for you. especially when you’re in university.
you always had school till evening and your night shift at a restaurant to pay for your school fees and rent. it was stressful for you and finally you had found a much better house. it was bigger than your previous house but you paid off the sum of house, now able to save more money since you didn’t need to pay rent.
the floor only had two apartments which was much quieter and you hoped you managed to get a nice neighbour which you did. he was an idol, out before the sun rises and back after the sun sets. you rarely saw him but when you did, you would always greet him.
he had very beautiful eyes and a kind smile, never failing to make your heart flutter. he was very attractive, you always found him. you never had time to find out more about his group or had the time to search them up. you either forgot or was busy. you only knew his name was jinyoung.
now, it was three days before christmas and your house looked as dull as ever. your boss had given you a week off since you were always on night shift. it was christmas break as well so you had finally had time to yourself. but you weren’t a festive person.
ever since your parents left, you never celebrated christmas. you barely had friends since you weren’t a social person. you only had yourself and that made you feel quite lonely. only when you had time to yourself though.
you sighed upon seeing the dull house, not motivated to decorate it. you didn’t had a reason to anyways. you had no one to celebrate christmas with and you hated going out, especially during winter.
taking the watering can, you stepped out of your house to water your plants. as you did, the lift door opened and you looked up to see who it was.
jinyoung exited the lift and bowed the first thing he saw you. you bowed back, smiling a little. “hello.” he greeted and you did the same.
“christmas break?” you asked and he nodded, chuckling. your smile widened.
“you too?” he asked and you nodded.
“ah i see.” jinyoung answered, “will you be going back to visit your family for christmas?” he then asked.
mentioning your family made your heart clench a little. managing to keep a smile, you shook your head. “no, they’re all over the world now.” you even manage to add a little giggle through your lie.
“oh but you’ll be spending christmas with your friends right?” he continued to ask.
“yeah i guess.” you continued to lie, not wanting him to pity you if you said you didn’t have any family or friends. “you’re gonna spend time with your family?” you then asked, changing the topic to him.
“no, sadly. three days is too short and the boys are coming over to my house for christmas this year. they were making a fuss about how they never saw my house.” jinyoung explained and you nodded, chuckling at the mention of his team mates.
“i see. well have a merry christmas.” you wished and he did the same. the both of you went back to your houses but you had a bright smile on your face. you were glad that you had the chance to talk to the busy idol even if it was for awhile.
jinyoung had always found you interesting. from the day you moved in, you had no idea who he was and you were always in the same oversized white tee and sports shorts. he soon came to realise that you didn’t care about fashion, always seeing you come back from school in just hoodies and jeans. it was like your school attire.
he liked how simple you lived even though he barely managed to talk to you. he caught a glimpse of your house once as he was entering his house. it seemed simple. just a couch and a coffee table. that’s what he saw anyways.
when you talked about celebrating christmas, he felt there was something off. he could tell you weren’t in the christmas mood but he didn’t want to question it.
jinyoung shook the thought of it as he entered the grocery store the next day. it was now 2 days closer to christmas and he had to stock up the fridge with drinks and his house with food since the boys were coming.
as he approached the counter with his trolley full of goods, the cashier smiled. “aren’t you the lovely boy who lives at XXX apartment?” jinyoung nodded, answering a yes with a smile.
“i heard a new girl just moved in. i live there too actually and i heard that the new girl moved cause her parents passed away. they say she didn’t want to remember her parents so she moved. quite sad ain’t it. the poor girl studies and works till dawn, unable to make any friends as well.” the cashier rambled as she scanned the items, adding a sigh. “i wonder how she’s spending christmas.”
jinyoung listened, a little shocked but realised why she seemed so down for christmas. he felt a little bad for her and the thought of inviting her to spend christmas with the boys came across his mind but dismissed immediately when the cashier had asked him to pay.
as he carried the bags back home, he started to wonder if you would say yes to spending christmas with him and the boys. the boys wouldn’t mind and he certainly wouldn’t. but the question of why he was so open to practically a stranger came to mind.
he wondered if it was because he felt bad for the girl or that he actually had an interest in her. it made him wonder and he went for the first option even though he knew the second reason explained why.
the thought of asking her to celebrate christmas dismissed once he received a phone call from his family. he spent the rest of the day talking to his family, only remembering what he had to ask late at night.
it was now a day closer to christmas and you were still at home watching how the grinch stole christmas. it was your favourite christmas show because the grinch was literally your mood when it came to christmas.
well, you didn’t exactly hate christmas but you had no meaning to it so you mostly became like the grinch. annoyed at the christmas spirit. you sighed when you realised you had already finished your third cup of ice cream and groaned upon realising that you had finished your last tub.
just as you got up the couch, the doorbell rang. your eyebrows furrowed, wondering who it was since no one knew where you lived. you opened the door cautiously, peeking your head out to see who it was and realised it was jinyoung.
he stood there in his purple sweater and a scarf around his neck, a bag in his hand as well. despite the weird fashion, you still found him extremely attractive.
jinyoung smiled and greeted you a good afternoon, you did the same.
“what brings you here?” you asked, opening the door a little more so you could stand comfortably. jinyoung awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, unsure of what to say.
“well, i wanted to invite you to spend christmas with the boys and i since you’re probably spending it alone.” he said and you looked at him with curious eyes. you were pretty sure you told him you were meeting your friends for christmas, why did he suddenly know that you were spending christmas alone.
“the lady at the grocery store told me.” he added and everything fell into place. you rolled your eyes at the nosy lady at the store.
“of course the lady at the grocery store. that big mouth.” you groaned and jinyoung chuckled.
“this is for you too. i didn’t know what flavour you’d like so i got my favourite. i hope you don’t mind.” he continued, handing you the bag with a tub of ice cream.
your eyes lit up at the sight of ice cream, now wondering if jinyoung was an angel sent from above. he sure did look like one. you received it with great thanks and smiled brightly. jinyoung smiled when he noticed how happy you were when you saw the bag of ice cream.
“oh and don’t think i’m doing it out of pity, i just want you to have a memorable christmas. it’s that one time of the year where warmth and joy is all around, i didn’t want you to not feel that. you don’t have to give me an answer now, just come over if you want. the boys won’t mind and i certainly would love to have you over.” he made himself clear and with that, he bowed and entered his house.
you held the ice cream in your hands and you smiled, feeling the warmth you haven’t felt in a very long time. it almost felt foreign. you closed the door and happily skipped to the kitchen, refilling your bowl with the ice cream jinyoung bought you. what a coincidence, he liked the same flavour as you did.
and right there you thought, maybe just maybe, your christmas might not be so lonely this year.
christmas finally decided to roll in and you were surprisingly awake in the morning. drinking the hot chocolate you made yourself, you were still thinking if you should accept jinyoung’s invitation to spend christmas with the boys. after all, he did make an effort to buy you ice cream and personally invite you over a day before christmas.
the warm chocolate ran down your throat, warming your body and putting you into a nice mood. putting down the cup, you decided that you shall accept jinyoung’s warm invitation and go to the gathering.
you sighed in distress, wondering what to wear. should you wear something comfortable or should you wear something more formal. you didn’t understand the fuss you put yourself through when it was just a simple dinner next door.
in the end, you decided with a cute reindeer hand woven sweater and a pair of tights. contented with your choice, you decided to go to his house earlier to help out with anything he needed help with. that, however, was more of an excuse. you just wanted to spend more time with him before the boys arrive.
you knocked nervously on the door, fiddling with the paws of your sweater. you wondered if he was awake or did you wake him up when he answered the door with messy bed hair and half-lidded eyes.
“oh did i disturb you?’ you sheepishly asked and he smiled when he noticed it was you, shaking his head.
"not at all. i’ve woken up for awhile.” you didn’t know if he was telling the truth because his voice was definitely deeper than usual, making him sound sexier. not that you mind.
you nodded and told him that you wanted to help him out if he needed, to thank him for the ice cream. he happily welcomed you to his house, closing the door behind him. his living room felt very welcoming if there was a way to express it.
you admired his house before turning to him, taking a good look at him. he indeed look like he just woke up. from his hair to his navy blue sweater and striped pyjama pants, you chuckled at how cute he looked. totally different from his usual blue jeans and tight shirts.
“so, what do you need help with?” you asked, smiling warmly at him.
“hm, there’s nothing much to help with the decoration but i’d have to cook dinner later so i probably need help for that. right now, we can watch a movie?” he suggested and you nodded, wondering when you had gotten this close to watching a movie with him. in his house. jinyoung found it strange that he had asked you to watch a movie with him.
the both of you settled down on the couch, two cups of hot chocolate on the table and the beginning of ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ started. yes, you had suggested the same movie you watched yesterday because jinyoung said he had never seen it. now you both were watching it on the television connected from his computer.
somehow halfway through the movie, you found yourself snuggled up with jinyoung. his arm was around your waist and your head was laying on his chest. it was a comfortable position and that made you feel really warm. your heart was palpitating fast and you could hear jinyoungs’ one was as well.
the movie ended soon enough and now only the beating of the two hearts could be heard. you cleared your throat and was about to pull away from jinyoung but he pulled you back. “let’s stay like this for awhile.” he simply said and you agreed, laying back on his chest.
the comfortable silence between you two made you feel a little sleepy, proving how comfortable you were. you loved it and you definitely wished for this to last. jinyoung, on the other hand, was looking admirably at you. how your breathing was steady and how your eyes glimmered under the soft lights. beautiful, he thought of you. you looked liked an art piece, perfect and flawless.
surprisingly within an hour, the both of you had gotten the food placed neatly and nicely on the dinning table. there was roasted turkey (which you managed to make really fast), mashed potato, salad and pasta. it was simple dishes yet it made the dining table look filled and festive.
on time, the doorbell rang and you took jinyoung’s apron, hanging it on the side of the kitchen. you heard the boys greeting jinyoung loudly and you awkwardly adjusted your outfit, nervously taking in deep breaths.
and finally, you had eye contact with the six boys who walked into the kitchen.
“oh and who is this jinyoung?” a fairly tall male with super skinny legs asked, wiggling his eyebrows at jinyoung.
jinyoung hit the man and walked over to your side. “boys, this is y/n. y/n, this is yugyeom, bambam, jackson, youngjae, jaebum and mark.” he introduced and you bowed shyly, mentioning it was nice to meet you. they did the same.
“so, are you both dating or?” jaebum asked, eyeing the both of you. heat immediately rose to your cheeks and jinyoung’s one as well.
you watched as jinyoung whisper into jaebum’s ear and a cheeky smile rose to his lips. “ah i see, okay let’s eat then."
the rest of the boys looked at them curiously, making a fuss on wanting to know what jinyoung had told the leader. you were in no exception but you didn’t want to pursue the issue. the boys and you settled down at the dining table, you sitting in-between jinyoung and youngjae.
thankfully, you got along really well with the boys and you found yourself laughing at jackson’s petty behaviour soon enough. jinyoung was glad you got along well with his bandmates and found himself smiling adoringly at you every time you smiled.
not long after the dishes were done, the eight of you sat in front of the christmas tree talking about the fun times they had together as a group. despite the fact that you did not know them, you felt like you were apart of them already. they were really warm and nice to you, talking to you as if they knew you for a really long time. you actually felt like you were spending christmas with your family.
"you should really see jinyoung’s pants, it was hideous.” bambam pointed out halfway through the conversations of airport fashion. the whole group laughed except for jinyoung who glared at bambam. jackson whipping out his phone to find the picture and showed it to you, earning a loud laugh from you. jinyoung managed to crack a smile at you despite being annoyed at jackson who showed the picture.
the boys noticed and cooed at him, teasing the male. “someone’s in love~” youngjae teased and jinyoung raised his hand, wanting to hit him. you, on the other hand, giggled and looked way. not denying the fact because you knew you had fallen for the angel right next to you.
“okay everyone, PRESENT TIME!” yugyeom yelled, getting up to take his bag that had presents for the other 6. the others did the same and only you, who last minute joined the gathering, had nothing so you stood and watch.
you unconsciously smiled at the scene in front of you. the boys were happily exchanging presents and the warm smiles present on their faces were so heartwarming, exactly like how a family would spend christmas.
suddenly, you felt someone hold your hand and you jumped turning to see who it was. it was jinyoung who was looking at you with a shy smile. he held a small box that was wrapped in christmas wrapper. you looked at him, confused as he handed you the box.
“it’s for you,” he said as you took the box into your own hand. “open it.” he told you and you did. you carefully tore the wrapper away and in it was a blue box lined with gold at the side. you opened it and eyed jinyoung as you did.
in it laid a beautiful silver necklace with a christmas tree as the charm. the diamonds the christmas tree represented the ornaments. you gasped as your hands grazed over the chains. “jinyoung,” you started. “you didn’t have to."
"but i wanted to.” he replied, taking the necklace out. you turned around and held your hair as jinyoung placed the necklace over your neck. you felt your body send electric shocks as jinyoung’s fingers came into contact with you.
you turned to face jinyoung and he smiled sweetly at you. “it looks beautiful.” he commented and you blushed, looking away from him.
jinyoung proceeded to hold both your hand, your attention going back to him.
“i know we may have just bonded but i’ve been attracted you since the first day i saw you. i don’t know if you feel the same but if you do, would you give me a shot?” he nervously confessed, his eyes looking into yours.
a smile crept up to your face and your heart started to beat faster. “jinyoung, you have no idea how much i have actually wanted you to say that and yes, of course i’ll give you a shot.”
jinyoung smiled wider and pulled you into a hug, his hands around your waist and yours around his. you both pulled away with the sounds of the other members cooing and you giggled shyly.
“kiss! kiss! kiss!” mark started to chant and the rest of the guys joined along.
jinyoung looked at you, as if to ask if it was okay and you gave him a reassuring smile. that was all he needed to lean in and softly place his lips on yours. your hands found its way to jinyoung’s chest and he pulled you closer, savouring the kiss before pulling apart.
the boys cheered and congratulated you too although the fireworks that appeared outside jinyoung’s window stole the attention. jinyoung wrapped his hands around your waist and you laid your head on his shoulder.
“thank you, jinyoung.” you started, looking up at him with thankful eyes.
“thank you for being my miracle this christmas.”
